According to a PTI report: The company had reported a net profit of Rs 118.44 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago. Its total income in the quarter under review stood at Rs 3,598.13 crore, up 35.7 per cent, against Rs 2,652.39 crore in the year-ago period, Avenue Supermarts said in a BSE filing.

Avenue Supermarts CEO & Managing Director Neville Noronha said the company has transitioned into the GST regime with minimal migration challenges.

“While supplies from certain vendors could see a short term disruption, we are optimistic that GST will create excellent opportunities for small and medium businesses to become preferred suppliers to organised retail in the near to long term,” he was quoted by PTI as saying.

Avenue Supermarts listed on the stock exchanges with a blockbuster listing in March this year, making Radhakishan Damani — the founder of the company and a low-profile investor — a part of India’s richest 20 club.
